[PATCH v3 1/6] arm64/mm: Reduce PA space to 48 bits when LPA2 is not enabled

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb at kernel.org>

Currently, LPA2 kernel support implies support for up to 52 bits of
physical addressing, and this is reflected in global definitions such as
PHYS_MASK_SHIFT and MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS.

This is potentially problematic, given that LPA2 hardware support is
modeled as a CPU feature which can be overridden, and with LPA2 hardware
support turned off, attempting to map physical regions with address bits
[51:48] set (which may exist on LPA2 capable systems booting with
arm64.nolva) will result in corrupted mappings with a truncated output
address and bogus shareability attributes.

This means that the accepted physical address range in the mapping
routines should be at most 48 bits wide when LPA2 support is configured
but not enabled at runtime.

Fixes: 352b0395b505 ("arm64: Enable 52-bit virtual addressing for 4k and 16k granule configs")
